Innovate or Die
The driving force behind MTB is their total commitment to innovation. The brand incorporates this philosophy into every model in order to push the boundaries of performance, control, and durability. This means that a Specialized electric bike is not simply an MTB a motor: it is a fully integrated system where the frame, suspension, motor, and battery work in perfect harmony.
The technologies developed by Specialized for its high-end non-electric models, such as the SWAT™ storage system, are also available on the new 2017 models. SWAT™ storage and FACT™, are also found on the electric range.
The goal is to preserve the true MTB experience while providing the power needed to go further. As Specialized itself says about its trail bikes: the best bikes are light, sturdy, and efficient on climbs, while remaining stable and controllable on technical descents. These characteristics are part of the DNA of every Turbo e-MTB.
Key features of Specialized e-MTBs
1. Power and control
The central promise of the Specialized Turbo range Specialized Turbo "Where Super Meets Natural". This refers to the unique way in which assistance is delivered. Rather than a sudden boost, Turbo motors provide a smooth and natural amplification of your own pedaling. The Levo 4 is the perfect example of this and has been recognized for its "SuperNatural power, control, and adjustability".
2. Advanced integration and connectivity
Specialized is at the forefront of electronic integration. These bikes are not only mechanical marvels, but also true smart devices. Using the Specialized app, you can customize and track your bike's performance. This ensures intuitive use, which is essential for the modern e-biker who wants to stay in control of their range and motor performance.
3. Trail geometry and suspension
Electric models benefit directly from advances made on non-electric trail bikes, such as the Stumpjumper. The latter is renowned as the "Singletrack Flow Finder" and sets the standard for trail performance. This geometry, focused on control and playfulness, is carried over to electric models such as the Turbo Levo, in order to maintain high maneuverability and responsiveness despite the additional weight of the motor.
